Wild, unexpected, and frequent thunderstorms are what I miss most about 
summers in North Carolina.  Come to think of it, the storms may be all 
I miss -- no, I also miss the smell of bright leaf tobacco curing 
golden brown in the barns, and I miss honeysuckle growing wild along 
the back roads.  There's nothing more fun than sitting out on the 
screen porch in a thunderstorm, enjoying the heavy drops of rain, the 
thunderclaps, and the flashes of lightning.  You know that you can tell 
if the storm is getting closer or moving away by counting the seconds 
between the thunder and the lightning.  If the time is short, the storm 
is moving closer.

Wonderful!
